Expedition Páramo

Expedition Páramo

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to set foot in places where no one has ever looked before? In a way, it's still possible today, without having to sink to the bottom of the ocean. Sure, there was certainly a man in the mountain ecosystem of South America before us... but his goal was either to hunt for lunch or to lay a mine. But we were certainly the first naturalists and photographers to ascend to the peaks of Yariguez National Park, where we brought back samples of new species of orchids, mosses and trees. Only, little did we know that this was just the beginning of our great adventure journey, at the end of which an unexpectedly great, mesozoic discovery might await us... Come and hear what it's like to be a photographer and documentarian on a modern adventure expedition on the other side of the planet. Because it's not quite what you'd imagine. 

Petr Jan Juračka is one of today's leading natural science photographers. His specialty is photography, which often shows unexpected natural stories and phenomena, which Petr has been studying at the Faculty of Science of Charles University.
